Check the ground tang that passes over the driverside engine mount bracket. The bolt that holds the plastic wire cover is longer than needed to allow a nut on the end to hold the ground tang for the power stages. If there is no spark then the computer will shut off fuel flow, so find the spark and the fuel will may come.

I discovered the errors of my way, when I did a head on the old engine, had the exact same thing happen. Ran it for about 20 minutes at idle, turned it off to wash up and change clothes for a test drive, would not start. The ground wire had made temporary contact somewhere and shook loose on the next start.
